I'm always surprised by the number of people who use a combination of 12345 etc as a password lol.😳

Fortunately, none of those are mine! My passwords are so long and convoluted, its ridiculous. And, I change them from time to time. I am absolutely paranoid about online hackers.

There used to be a TV commerical ( I don't remember for what) and someone needed a guy password at work. He was embarrassed because his password was "ihatemyjob".

Reminds me of the secret code King Roland had for Planet Druida to protect its clean air supply in the movie Spaceballs. 🙄

If you know the movie, you understand.

We had to reset passwords at work every 90 days. Right before I retired it was Lastone!

Some of these are readily apparent as far as the relative ease to crack, but I am really baffled by why the number

26, 35, and 50 passwords are inadvisable. They don't seem commonplace or intuitive at all. (None of them are

mine BTW!

I'm surprised anyone accepts four letter words as passwords (i.e. "pass", "root"). Usually you have to have at the very least some combination of upper case/lower case or letter/number.

The ones you cited are not the actual passwords. They're examples where one would use their initials or name in an easy to guess way.

For the longest time, my sister used our home phone number when we were kids!

A rotary phone landline, of course. lol

It was a combination of letters and numbers and worked very well for ages.

I appreciate you posting this list @Tinkrbl44 Unfortunately, I use two of the passwords. One is for my main computer and the other for my iphone. Both were set up by my adult kids
